About Me

I can help you capture the most beautiful and elegant moments of your big day

Hello! I’m Joel

I stumbled into wedding photography about 10 years ago, after dabbling a bit in family and travel photography. There’s just something magical about the emotions, the excitement, and the sheer beauty of two people celebrating their love surrounded by family and friends—nothing beats it!

My first wedding was a fun adventure; my cousin needed someone to photograph their special day in the beautiful Blue Mountains, so I grabbed my little camera and jumped in. Fast forward 10 years, and I still feel a wave of emotion whenever the bride walks down the aisle and the groom sees her for the first time.

You might even catch me tearing up during the speeches! Photography is a true passion for me, and I’ve poured my heart and soul into it. I’ve traveled all across Australia and met some incredible people along the way. But the best part? It’s hearing all the lovely messages and seeing the joy on my clients’ faces. That’s what truly motivates me!

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me spending quality time with my amazing soulmate, Annie, and our two wonderful kids, Ava (yes, named after this place!) and Jacob. I’m all about keeping fit—I’ll take any excuse to work out—plus I love shooting some hoops every now and then. After all, a healthy mind thrives in a healthy body, right?

KIND WORDS

Joel is an incredible, fantastic and talented photographer & videographer.
From the first time we spoke, he was so easy to talk to and once the big day came around, he made us feel so comfortable while we got all of our photos.
The encouragement and passion Joel put out when doing our videography was amazing.
(Also side shout out to Ben Howland Photography whom Joel partnered with on the day, he was incredible too and I will leave him a review as well).
They captured our day beautifully and perfectly. We couldn’t be any happier with our photos & videos – they are faultless. They’re all just so stunning and gorgeously edited.
Paying for photos & videos is a price that I personally think is worth every single cent. So great to be able to look back and relive our special day whenever we want.
I highly recommend Joel for anything photography/videography, you will not regret it.

Joel is excellent, talented and a true professional! He did an excellent job juggling big personalities and directing the group! He had great ideas and suggestions and was a great sport in the intense wind and heat. We loved working with Joel and would hire him again without hesitation! Thank you Joel!

What a vibe Joel & Zac were!!! They were professional yet loads of fun & made us feel so comfortable in-front of the camera. We have had comments from multiple guests about how well they fit into the relaxed vibe of our day. We have only received our sneak peaks so far & OMG!!! Unreal!!! My brother, who is also a photographer, commented ‘easily the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen’.

Joel is super friendly and professional. Went above and beyond through the whole experience. He dealt with sudden changes to schedule and a bit limited setting for photos and still managed to work his magic and give us a huge album. Just looking back at our wedding photos one year on and could not be happier with how they turned out.

Joel is an amazing photographer, would highly recommend! Our wedding day was beyond freezing with miserable rain, but the photos Joel took make the day look spectacular. He is easygoing and fantastic to work with. Absolutely check out his website and Instagram for more examples of his style!

I can not speak highly enough of Joel. Our wedding was in Jenolan Caves, which was dark with tricky lighting, but Joel excelled. Our photos are absolutely perfect, and capture the day exactly as I remembered it. He was so quiet and fast during the ceremony, I had no idea where he was, but the photos seem to show that he was everywhere! Joel was a great presence on the day on the wedding, and his relaxed attitude was a joy to be around on such an important day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ava Me Photography, and I am so excited to watch what his future holds.
